How To Tell If A Battery Is Dead By Bouncing. But then I tried it. In a YouTube video by electrical engineer Lee Hite explains the bouncing battery theory using science.
One rumoured and simple test to determine a flat battery from a good one is the dead battery bounce - drop them on the floor and the flat ones bounce. What the study shows is that the more the battery discharges the greater its bounce as measured by dropping batteries. Somebody told me about this and I thought it must be a joke.
This has been met with a certain degree of scepticism with many claiming the technique has no scientific basis at.
Its just another hoax. The dead battery bounce. Conventional batteries have an outer layer made of zinc which once hooked into a circuit is slowly converted to zinc oxide while releasing electrons and allowing them to flow thereby creating electricity. So its important to understand at least a little bit about your battery and to know the most common signs that it needs to be replaced.
